Alex was amazing. Very good. Did not feel touristy. Felt like hanging out with a local and learning about and enjoying his town.

Our guide Alex gave us a very individualized tour of old town and the port area of Naxos. Our first stop had one of the most breathtaking views and we enjoyed amazing local cheeses and meats. He got to know us and we enjoyed connecting with him and learning all about Greek culture and life. He made sure to help us find the gift we had been looking for to bring back home to our son. Then we ended up seeing Apollos gate as well as other sites and learning so much fascinating history. Topped off with a really fun and delicious traditional lunch that was personalized to us and recommended by him. HIGHLY recommend this tour when you visit Naxos! Alex also gave us recommendations for restaurants for the rest of our vacation. We had a blast and it made our visit complete.
The food was amazing and our guide was great. Had a wonderful cheese platter at one stop and a full meal at another. Got to walk around and see temple of Apollo by night and heard history along the way. Great night out!
Lots of history and culture on this food tour! Alex was great - led us through a maze of places we could never have found on our own.
Very professional. George is very reachable and accommodating. Alex was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable about history. The food we tried was great. Overall great experience. Highly recommend.
This tour went even better than I expected. Our guide, Alex, was incredibly knowledgeable about the town, its culture, and its food. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, you’ll be walking through charming streets and making several stops. Our first stop was at an authentic cheese shop, where we sampled a variety of cheeses and wine while Alex shared the fascinating history of cheese making in Naxos. Next, we visited the famous church in town, a beautiful and peaceful landmark. After that, we enjoyed an authentic dinner featuring cheese, fresh bread, stuffed peppers with rice and meat, and delicious local wine. We also explored a charming jam shop, and finally ended the evening at a liquor store offering an array of candies, oils, and traditional Naxos liquor. This final stop was my favorite part of the tour. Thank you, Alex, for making this an unforgettable experience!
We had such a fun time on this delicious food tour. Especially if you are staying outside of Naxos, this is a great option because they will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel or Airbnb in a very comfortable sprinter van. Our guide, Alex, made the whole tour! He was so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He made sure to make everyone feel included, including my elderly mother and child. He was also flexible and thoughtful, making tweaks to the tour to find the best routes for my mom to walk since she uses a cane and stopping at different shops to make sure we were able to bring home our favorite food souvenirs.
Alex was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and extremely thoughtful!! We truly felt as if he was apart of our family! Thank you for such a wonderful tour.
A great way to spend the evening and explore Naxos. Alex was an excellent tour guide and the food was delicious. I'd highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Pickup from our hotel was smooth and easy. Alex was extremely knowledgeable, and friendly, and made the whole experience so memorable for us. The food was all incredible, and we learned so much about the history of the island. We highly recommend this tour.
This was so much fun. Our guide, Alex, is a charming young man, who was very knowledgeable about the town. It was just the 4 of us so it was a very personal experience. And all the food we tasted was wonderful. Though the cheeses were the highlight of all we tasted! We thoroughly enjoyed it.
My husband and I went on our honeymoon and our first night in Naxos we went on this tour. Such a great start to the trip. Our guide was amazing and we got to learn so much about the history of Naxos. He takes you to multiple different stops and shows you around the old town. Definitely recommend! The food was AMAZING!
The second of our fantastic tours through this provider, and just as wonderful as the first (which was the private half day tour of the island). This was a walking tour with extensive history and sightseeing around Naxos old town and the Venetian castle. Dinner was at one of the most highly recommended and quaint restaurants on the island. George, our tour guide, shared his extensive knowledge of the area, and provided a selection of local food that we all loved. It was a wonderful evening and one we hold fond memories of. Can’t thank our guide enough for the experiences we had.
Had a fun experience. Our guide was extremely informative and knowledgeable. Fun was to learn about the old town of Naxos.
We are on our honeymoon & booked this tour our first night in Naxos. It was great to be guided around & hear the history of the island as well as taste all of the local cuisine. The guides were so nice and so knowledgeable. Couldn’t recommend this more!
This was so fun and informative! We loved being able to see the city through a locals eyes. Each location we stopped at was great.
Had a really amazing experience. We got to try Naxos cheeses and wine. Our guide, Spyros, taught us so much about the beautiful island of Naxos, and we got to eat authentic Greek food which was soo so good. It was an amazing experience and Spyros does such a great job. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
The description of this trip was terrible. Reading the description, we thought we were going on a tour of a private restaurant, having a tour of the restaurant, but we were not. We were picked up, brought to a public part of the island and to a restaurant with 100's of other people in it. It was not a private experience at all. We could and should have just went into the town on our own and found a restaurant to go to, again, on our own. This was a really stupid experience and a big waste of time and money. Never again!
Alex, our tour guide, was an absolute delight and we had so much fun tasting and eating a variety of cheeses, condiments and a yummy dinner. Alex explained the history and background of Naxos and its foods, and took us into the castle region where we were amazed at the views and the labyrinth of pathways. If you want a personalised and tasty tour of Naxos, I highly receommend this tour!
Our Guide Alex shared his outstanding knowledge of history of the town and castle and directed us to some wonderful establishments to sample the food. Alex was well-informed, friendly and professional, and showed us a great time! The food was excellent and we enjoyed learning about the history of the castle and the town. Alex and George were both friendly and informative, and I'd highly recommend even for anyone with children to take this tour.
Very personable experience tour guide. Food was amazing and George was fantastic! I got a very good feel of Naxos.
This was such a great personal experience. We learned about the island and got to try local food that we may not have thought to order that was out of this world. Our tour guide was amazing had and so much passion when she spoke!
So glad we did this tour! Our guide was so nice, and we got a great overview of Naxos and tasted some amazing food. Would absolutely recommend to everyone!
Alex was a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable and personal and provided us with a wealth of history and information about Naxos. We meandered through the alleys and streets of Chora MUCH more extensively and efficiently then we had been able to do on our own! He guided us to little gems they we never would have found without him. I love visiting the different shops and tasting their products. There was just 2 of us in our group and it was great; however, this would be perfect for groups traveling together as well! Thanks again Alex for a lovely evening in Naxos! :-)
Alex was a wonderful guide. He was engaging, informative and pleasant to be with. We definitely got more out of being in Naxos with his guidance. Thank you Alex!
Great way to learn about Naxos history in a simple way with our private guide Alex! We had walked trough Chora the night before but the experience was so different to have someone guide us through the historical side of this beautiful village. Alex was very knowledgeable and has a beautiful sens of humour! We shared a delicious dinner and headed to 2 more stops. The marmalade shop was cute, the owner very pleasant! And the Kitron store was intersting to get a taste of their local liquor and how they make it without going on a big trip to the distillery. I would recommend this adventure to anyone who want to learn a little more about Naxos but dosent want to sit in a bus with 40 people.
We were 7 women ages 43-71 traveling together, and every single one of us LOVED this tour, and LOVED our guide, Alex. They picked us up in a luxury Mercedes van and drove us to the first stop for wine and cheese tasting. A fight almost broke out over the delicious cheeses as we gobbled them up and everybody bought something. The wine is also excellent! From there, you walk through Old Town Naxos stopping at scenic spots and overviews for photos, to the castle. Your guide gives you some history of the town and castle, then on to dinner. Don’t worry! There is some steep terrain, but none of us had a problem with the walk. We all enjoyed it very much. The dinner was a traditional family style Greek dinner that again, was DELICIOUS!! Before loading in the van and heading home, you walk back through town and end the evening raising a glass of Kitron together!!! Just WONDERFUL!!!
We had a wonderful time with Alex ! Very attentive and engaging. The little shops we stopped at were so much fun Cheese store awesome and accommodating. Dinner choices - excellent! Would suggest putting in your description of tour - walking quite a bit and uphill with steps ! That was unexpected. Otherwise very glad we booked
Alex was terrific. A very unique tour taking you through the main Naxos town seeing sites and stopping at various food shops for tastings. Would recommend
What a great tour and experience this was! We were so glad we got to spend our first evening in Naxos with Alex showing us the town. He was personable, knowledgeable, and relatable. We had great conversation over each of our tastings and learned a ton! Had a few questions while booking this tour but viator chat was able to assist. Pickup and drop off were seamless. Would absolutely recommend this experience!
Overall very fun and informative. Our tour guide Alex was awesome. Alex was very knowledgeable, welcoming, and fun to hang out with. This was a great way to see and learn more about the old town and experience some local Naxos.
Great tour of Old Town Naxos and great food. Alex, our tour guide, was adorable and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Our family of 5 had a wonderful time with Alex seeing the sights and tasting amazing food throughout town. From different cheeses, a full traditional meal and samples of jellies and marmalade we were pleasantly stuffed and learned so much about the Greek culture! Alex was a joy to spend time with❤️ Highly recommend this tour to get a lay of the land in Naxos!!
We had a wonderful private evening tour of Naxos. From pick up to drop off everything went really smoothly. I’d recommend this tour for anyone looking for a combination of history, walking, food and culture that doesn’t take the whole day. We were picked up at 6pm, so we got to see the town during the day when it wasn’t too hot, experience the sunset and end with a stroll and drop off in the night. Our guide and driver we’re the perfect hosts. It was time well spent.
Incredible experience. Alex really made this what it was. The food was excellent, although we could have found the locations ourselves. However, Alex’s knowledge, wit, and photography created a wonderful time. We were on our honeymoon, but it felt as if Alex was a longtime friend who really wanted to show us around Old Town Naxos. I would highly recommend this experience, especially if Alex is the guide!
Our guide, George, was wonderful. He provided insights into the history of Naxos as we walked the Old Town area. The highlight was the dinner of traditional Naxian dishes. Every item on the menu was delicious! I would highly recommend this tour!
Our guide not only took us to places that had local & authentic foods, but also threw in a little history on a short walk in the old town. We were only a group of 2 and had the undivided attention of the guide. It was well done.
We enjoyed walking around Naxos and learning it's history. Spyros was very kind and professional. He adjusted the pace to accommodate us. The highlight was the stop at a restaurant, sampling some of Greece's favorite foods. It was a wonderful end to our evening. I would highly recommend this tour.
Our guide was great and very informative! We learned a lot about the island and it’s history as well as tried some goodies (alcohol and food and candy)!
Perfect way to see cute little Naxos for the first time. We did this our first evening and it gave us a great overview of the little village. Our guide was a wonderful young man born and raised in Naxos and new so much we loved chatting with him and learning all about the island & it’s history. The little food stops were fun & tasty , pretty walk through town… we really enjoyed the whole experience!
Our tour guide George was extremely knowledgeable and created such a great experience for us. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed this tour! It had a lot packed in to help me find places and experience Naxos town in a way I would not have been able to find on my own. Every piece of it was well thought out a d relaxing and gave me places I’d love to go back too. I think it is a great way to get oriented to the town, learn what is special about Naxos.
The food was great. Walking around the town gave you a mini history lesson about some of the island. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. My children are excited to try the candies we got for them. The sunset was amazing! Thank you George for showing my husband and I a wonderful evening. George is very informative, personable, and has a wonderful knowledge about the island.
We loved this tour. George was great! Just enough mix of history, local flair and fun. Would definitely recommend. Dinner was outstanding, cheese and candy so fun! Thank you for the memories!!
